I rode this trail with a very cheap road bike years and years ago, it was totally doable and fun! Of course this time I'm going to ride on my road/mountain hybrid, but you can pretty much do this on any bike and its really fun!
Curious to know if there's ever been any kind known trouble in that 2 mile tunnel? That's two miles of opportunity for all kinds of things to happen in the dark. No fear here, it's an incredible tunnel, but I'm a realist too and if I was new in the area, I would want to know what things to look out for.
What a video - and what a ride. It's sad that economic conditions forced the closing of an electrified railroad like the Milwaukee Road - especially now, that we could use more electrics. I would really like to bike this line be close to the history of this transcontinental route.

the tunnel is two and something miles long, twice as long as the Paw Paw tunnel.

i still think a touring bike that can travel off road also is always a better plan.

The commentary is really good and you've done a great job with this clip, thanks for uploading!
I'm waiting for my Long Haul Trucker to be delivered, maybe one day I'll end up having enough free time for long tours...
